Niu Youdao said, "Let's go together. I have something for you to do."
Guan Fangyi was a little puzzled, but she was still a little unwilling. She said, "Between Elder Chen and Xu Laoliu, who do you think is suitable? I will ask them to accompany you."
Niu Youdao said, "In some situations, women are more suitable than men. What's wrong with you today? Alright, don't be long-winded. I choose you. "
"…" Guan Fangyi was speechless. Since she couldn't refuse, she could only do it reluctantly.
Before leaving, Niu Youdao looked at Zhou Tiezi and gave Yuan Gang a look.
Yuan Gang understood and nodded. He knew that Zhou Tiezi wanted him to find out more about Zhou Tiezi …
The group arrived at the guest courtyard where Xiao Yao Palace was staying. The accompanying disciple greeted the guard at the door.
Niu Youdao rushed to interrupt, "Could I trouble you to tell them that Qi Jing's Matchmaker has come with them?"
The guarding disciple naturally didn't care. Anyway, he had to go in and inform them. It was just a matter of saying one more word.
Guan Fangyi was stunned as she stared blankly at Niu Youdao. She thought that she could just wait outside, but he was going to bring her in as well!
Since one person had gone in and only one guarding disciple was left, Niu Youdao smiled and asked, "Are there a lot of guests who came to disturb Xiao Yao Palace?"
He wanted to know if it was because of the Xiao Yao Palace or the Wan Shou Sect that he had delayed for so long. He wanted to know if it was because of the Xiao Yao Palace or the Wan Shou Sect.
The accompanying disciple immediately shook his head at the guarding disciple. He knew very well that it was Chou Shan who stopped them for the time being.
The guarding disciple said expressionlessly, "I'm not sure."
When Niu Youdao said this, he didn't look to the side, but he was actually observing the disciple who was in charge of informing them. He had already noticed some abnormalities. He knew that he wouldn't be able to get anything out of him, so he replied with an "oh" and didn't ask anymore.
On the contrary, Guan Fangyi pulled Niu Youdao's sleeve and pulled him aside. She asked, "Why do you insist on bringing me in?"
Niu Youdao said casually, "I heard that you know Long Xiu. It's easier to talk to an acquaintance."
Guan Fangyi was surprised. "How do you know I know Long Xiu? Uncle Chen and the others said that? Impossible! " Because she knew that Uncle Chen and the others wouldn't casually tell others about her past. It wasn't something to be proud of.
She could not remember if Elder Chen came to her place when she got to know Long Xiu.
Niu Youdao laughed. "Looks like you really know Long Xiu."
"…" Guan Fangyi was speechless. Then, she flew into a rage out of humiliation. "Are you trying to trick me?"
Niu Youdao: "He knew that I was coming to see Long Xiu. Why do you think he didn't tell me earlier?"
Guan Fangyi rolled her eyes. "It's not like you don't know what's going on with the men I know. What's there to talk about?"
Niu Youdao was curious to know how deep her relationship with Long Xiu was. He asked, "Are you in a relationship?"
Guan Fangyi was furious. "What do you take me for? Do you think that just anyone can sleep with this old mother? "
Niu Youdao: "He pursued you?"
Guan Fangyi didn't deny this. "That's what I mean. With my reputation, there are many people who want to take advantage of me. It's nothing more than flirting with me. How many of them are sincere? Even if he pestered me for a period of time, he disappeared without getting what he wanted. As a disciple of a big sect, he couldn't stay in Qi Capital for a long time. At that time, he wasn't very outstanding in Xiao Yao Palace. I didn't expect him to become the Sect Master of Xiao Yao Palace. When I heard that he was the one who became the Sect Master, I was a little surprised. Now that I think about it, he is a person who knows how to keep a low profile. There's nothing going on between me and him like you think. "
Niu Youdao nodded silently and asked again, "Tell me honestly, of the six sect masters I want to meet, how many do you know?"
Guan Fangyi pondered for a while. "I don't know the Sect Master of the Goddess Cult. She's a woman. You can imagine that it's good that women don't hate me. Why would they go to my Fufang Garden to support me?"
Niu Youdao asked, "In other words, you know the other five?"
Guan Fangyi hesitated. "How should I put it? I can say that I know all of them, but I can also say that I don't know all of them. I've basically met all of them in my early years. Some of them used their real names when I met them, like Long Xiu. Some of them didn't use their real names back then. They probably wanted to take advantage of me, but they were afraid that it would affect their reputation. "
Niu Youdao was puzzled. "How do you know it's them if you don't use their real names?"
Guan Fangyi sneered. A hint of mockery appeared at the corner of her mouth. She said, "Back then, there were many people who chased after me. There were many people who were jealous of me. If they didn't say it themselves, there would naturally be people who would kick them when they're down. They would report and expose them. There were so many eyes watching. How could they hide it?"
Niu Youdao couldn't help but laugh. So that's how it was.
At this moment, the person who went to report had returned. Yi Shu also showed up. She asked, "Which one is Niu Youdao?"
He hurried forward and greeted Niu Youdao. "That's me."
"This way please!" Yi Shu tilted her head and gestured. After Niu Youdao went up the stairs, she stopped Guan Fangyi who was following, "Who are you?"
Niu Youdao hurriedly explained, "This is the Matchmaker of the Capital of Qi."
Yi Shu had already seen through him. She just asked on purpose.
When she first saw Guan Fangyi, she had to admit that this woman took good care of herself. Overall, she didn't look too old, but her charm was still as peerless as before. No wonder her beauty was known all over the world and could make so many men fall in love with her.
It was natural that she took good care of herself. Guan Fangyi was a woman who loved beauty. She had invested a lot of resources into maintaining her appearance. In the eyes of ordinary men, she was definitely a great beauty, except for people like Emperor Qi and Hao Yuntu who were used to seeing all kinds of beauties in the imperial harem.
However, women often didn't like women who attracted too many men. Yi Shu said with a cold face, "Did I say you can go in?"
Guan Fangyi stopped. She was embarrassed by the words, but she still smiled and left. It was not the first time that she was not liked by other women.
Yi Shu turned around and said, "Come with me."
After receiving the notice, she didn't report to Long Xiu at all. There was no need for her to do so. Could any random person see her teacher?
Niu Youdao looked at this woman, then looked back at Guan Fangyi, and followed Yi Shu into the courtyard.
In the courtyard, there were magnificent pavilions, which made Niu Youdao feel the difference in treatment between the guests. It was understandable. It was normal for people with different status to receive different treatment.
When they arrived at a waterside pavilion, Niu Youdao saw Long Xiu, who was half lying on a short couch and reading. He looked at him from afar. This was one of the people who could decide the fate of the entire Yan State.
Yi Shu went inside and reported, "Teacher, Niu Youdao is here."
Niu Youdao's ears twitched slightly. He paid attention to this woman. Long Xiu's disciple?
Long Xiu responded with a "hmm". His attention was still on the book, and he didn't do anything else.
After being called in by Yi Shu, Niu Youdao went forward and bowed. "Yan Nanzhou's Niu Youdao pays respect to the Palace Lord."
Long Xiu's actions didn't change. His gaze shifted to Niu Youdao, and he smiled. "You're really hard to wait. This Palace Lord has been waiting for you for a long time."
Niu Youdao smiled in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing. "It's my fault. I was pestered by a friend. She said that she's your acquaintance and insisted on coming to see you together. That's why I was delayed."
Long Xiu was a little surprised. "My acquaintance? Who? "
Niu Youdao replied, "Qi Jing's matchmaker."
Long Xiu responded with a look of surprise. "I heard that she's with you now. Why is she here?"
Niu Youdao understood that this person still didn't know that a matchmaker was here. He couldn't help but glance at Yi Shu, who was standing at the side, and replied with a smile, "She's just outside the door. I don't dare to enter without permission."
"Haha, she can be considered an old friend. It's been a long time since we last met." Long Xiu got up seriously and sat cross-legged. He waved the book in his hand at Yi Shu. "Go quickly. Invite her in."
Yi Shu was also very surprised. She didn't expect that this lowly woman was a friend of her master.
She couldn't help but glance at Niu Youdao. She agreed with Chen Tingxiu's words. She was indeed arrogant and condescending. She didn't put her in her eyes at all. She didn't let her in and actually complained to her master.
She had wronged Niu Youdao. How could Niu Youdao complain about her? He just knew that Guan Fangyi was acquainted with Long Xiu and wanted to talk to Guan Fangyi to ease the atmosphere.
From the beginning to the end, he had no intention of complaining.
However, Yi Shu didn't think so.
"Yes!" Yi Shu replied and left.
Speaking of matchmakers, Long Xiu seemed to be reminiscing about the past.
Not long after, Guan Fangyi arrived. Long Xiu looked up and recognized her. It was that woman who still had her charm. He couldn't help but smile as he sighed in his heart.
Years ago, when he went to Qi Kingdom for business, he was dragged to see this woman.
At first, he didn't want to go because he was afraid that it would affect his reputation. However, he had no choice. His friend insisted.
In fact, Guan Fangyi was famous for her beauty. Back then, many people had heard of her. Those who went to Qi Capital, as long as they had the qualifications, all wanted to see her.
He went to see her just like that. At first sight, he was really stunned by Guan Fangyi's peerless beauty. He even thought that if he could have such a beauty, he wouldn't have lived in vain.
After that, he stayed in Qi Capital for a month or so. He went to see Guan Fangyi every now and then. He had the intention to pursue her, but Guan Fangyi rejected him.
Later, his deadline was up and he had to return to his master. Coupled with Guan Fangyi's rejection, and seeing that many more outstanding people were pursuing Guan Fangyi, he felt that he had no hope. He gradually calmed down and realized that it wasn't worth it to affect his future for a woman. Thus, he left with a trace of regret.
It was something that he had gradually forgotten. Now that he thought about it again, it was a different feeling, especially when he saw Guan Fangyi in person.
"Guan Fangyi greets Palace Lord Long." Guan Fangyi, who arrived, half-squatted and bowed. She purposely was a little too polite to express her dissatisfaction with what happened before.
Long Xiu chuckled and waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite. "Hongniang, we haven't seen each other for many years. You are still as beautiful as before."
Guan Fangyi said, "Are you kidding me? I am old. How can I still be beautiful?"
Long Xiu waved his hand. "I am not old. I am really old."
Guan Fangyi said, "You are much older than me. Isn't it normal to be older?"
Niu Youdao paid attention to Long Xiu's reaction.
"Uh …" Long Xiu was startled. He found that this woman was a little different from before. Back then, she was gentle and pleasant, or cold and aloof. She wasn't so shrewish. He smiled bitterly. "Serve the tea! Please take a seat. "
Yi Shu went to serve the tea with suspicion. She muttered in her heart, "Why do I feel that this woman has a special relationship with Master? Does Master also have an affair with this woman?"
It could be said that Niu Youdao had benefited from Guan Fangyi's association with him.
Since they were already here, Guan Fangyi didn't stand on ceremony. She sat down and crossed her legs. She looked around and said, "The place to entertain Palace Lord Long is indeed not something we can compare with."
